Determination of trace elements in illicit spice samples by using ICP-MS

Differentiation of Commercially Available Kratom by Purported Country of Origin using Inductively Coupled Plasma–Mass Spectrometry,

“…Other factors including the absorbability of the plant, chemical state of the soil, climate, microorganism activity, pesticide use, pollution, water, cultivation practices, and processing methods can also cause elemental concentration differences. These differences have been determined using various analytical techniques such as wavelength dispersive X‐ray fluorescence (WDXRF), inductively coupled plasma–mass spectrometry (ICP‐MS), isotope ratio–mass spectrometry (IRMS), and laser ablation–inductively coupled plasma–mass spectrometry (LA–ICP–MS) and have been used for geographical origin determination . More recent work includes the origin determination of cocaine, marijuana, and synthetic cannabinoids using elemental content measured by ICP‐MS .…”

Large sample neutron activation analysis avoids representative sub-sampling and sample preparation difficulties: An added value for forensic analysis

“…These are synthetic cannabinoids (SCs), marketed as legal marijuana alternatives in Europe in the early 2000s. Twentynine samples from street in Ankara (Turkey) were analysed by ICP-MS [50]. In this work, the trace element contents in the analysed samples were below the limit values determined by the WHO.…”

Study on the Determination of Trace Lead and Cadmium by ICP-MS After Preconcentration and Separation on Carbon Nanofibers Loaded With 8-Hydroxyquinoline

“…Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) has been accepted as the most powerful and sophisticated atomic spectrometric technique owing to its high sensitivity, low detection limit, wide linear dynamic range, and rapid multielemental analysis capability (8)(9)(10)(11)(12). Sometimes, however, direct analysis of environmental and biological samples by ICP-MS is still a difficult task, not only because the concentrations levels of trace elements are quite low, but also because a complicated matrix often interferes with their determination (13).…”
